A city man with a history of arrests, according to court records, was arrested on assault and gun charges over the weekend, and arraigned Monday, where he was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail.

Gerard M. Gibbs, 32, of 65 Emmet St., Apt. 2, was arrested Saturday after a foot pursuit with city and state police.

Police received a call about 11 p.m. Saturday that a man was wielding a .22-caliber handgun on Wyman Street.

Police chased the man, later identified as Gibbs, to a North Main Street backyard where he was arrested. Police say Gibbs tossed the gun over a chain-link fence during the chase, according to state police Capt. Scott Warmington.

Gibbs was charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a firearm without an FID card, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and threat to commit a crime.

On the new charges, Gibbs was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail at his Brockton District Court arraignment Monday. Bail was revoked on a previous case.

Gibbs, who has 16 separate offense dates through Brockton District Court, was on probation for a drunken driving charge from May, court records show.
